Miss Hokusai's reviews
Media reviews
Cahiers du Cinéma
'Sarusuberi Hokusai' confirms the meticulous filmmaker talent, building a personal work along the lines of the war epics mixed with the stamp of the author.
Variety
This live-action-worthy look at a creative father-daughter duo serves as a stellar example of the oft-cited principle that animation is an art form, not a genre.
The Hollywood Reporter
That an anime film can explore such complex subjects so beautifully in what?s nominally an artist?s biopic is a blessing in itself.
The Washington Post
Nowhere is there condescension or censure.
New York Times
Represented here by an unusually fine imprint.
The Guardian
It is an interesting work, delicately and discreetly animated, with a quiet visual coup in its final moments when the Edo (as it was then called) of 1814 is dreamily replaced by the Tokyo of the 21st century.
Fotogramas
Tribute portraying a young woman with so much character like her father, her integrity and her modernity.
Cinemanía
Impossible to deny its formal correctness, its condition smaller and more intimate film, focusing on telling the story of a girl pointing to little anecdotes.
